Make it usable for everyone, including people with disabilities - shippingszn launch readiness

Accessibility means making sure your app works for people who use screen readers, navigate with a keyboard instead of a mouse, have low vision, or can't see colors well. It also accidentally makes the app better for everyone — clearer, more readable, more navigable.

It's the right thing to do. It expands who can use your product. And in many places (US, EU, UK) it's legally required — there are real lawsuits.

Owner verification required: Accessibility needs keyboard and assistive-tech verification across real pages. Static code checks miss focus order, contrast in rendered states, and whether the flow is actually usable.

The Launch Fix Kit keeps scan-specific findings, file and line evidence, AI-builder punch-list tasks, and verification steps tied to the paid report.

Use real semantic HTML — actual <button>, <nav>, <a> tags, not divs with click handlers.
Make sure text has enough contrast against its background. The WebAIM contrast checker is free.
Test that you can navigate the entire app with only the Tab key — every interactive thing should be reachable.
Add alt text to every meaningful image. Decorative images get alt="".
Run an accessibility checker (axe DevTools, Lighthouse) on each page and fix what it finds.
